Engineering failure analysis

Engineering failure analysis is the process of investigating why a product, structure, or system didn't perform as intended. It involves examining the damaged components, understanding how forces and materials interacted, and identifying any design flaws, material defects, or environmental factors that contributed to the failure. The goal is to determine the root cause, prevent similar issues in the future, and improve safety and reliability. This systematic approach helps engineers learn from failures and refine designs, ensuring that future products are safer, stronger, and more durable.
